Moscow is screwing up about humiliation of Zensky at Trump in Washington
The winner of the confrontation between President Trump and President Zensky, on Friday in the White House, is in the Kremlin. Without having to allow or hand in anything, President Putin brings in a large part of the loot. Until recently, the United States, a crucial ally of Ukraine, doubt openly about continuing support for Ukraine. The relationship with Zensky is soured and they manage on his departure as president. Putin must have viewed the spectacle in the Oval Office with great satisfaction.
An official response from the Russian president has not been possible so far – he also has little reason to respond. Russian politicians and media do that, and cloud about the humiliation that Zensky had to undergo. The influential TV presenter and propagandist Vladimir Solovjov announced a separate show, dedicated to « Zensky's suicide in the White House ».
As more often, the fiercest political reaction of former president Dmitri Medvedevvice -president of the Russian Security Council, on X. « The indiscriminate pig finally got a big blow in the Oval Office. And Donald Trump is right: the regime in Kyiv 'gambles with WWII'. » On Telegram, Medvedev Zelensky called a « CocaineClown ». The Kremlin is happy to portray Zensky as a drug user.
Maria Zacharova, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was also not unknown. On telegram She wrote that it was wonderfully clever how « Trump and Vance were in and did not attack this jerk. » On Saturday Zacharova wrote a new contribution to Telegram. « The visit of the leader of the Neo-Nazi regime Zensky to Washington on 28 February is a total political and diplomatic failure for the KYIV regime. Russia has repeatedly talked about Zensky's unsuitability, corruption and inability to negotiate. ”
No criticism of Putin
According to Russian commentators, the insulting of Zensky was a pre-conceived plan of the Trump government, intended to be able to distance yourself from Ukraine. « Trump implements policy that is beneficial for Russia, » said a commentator in a talk show. « He is willing to give Russia everything it wants. » MP Oleg Morozov predicted in the program 60 minutesbroadcast on Thursday, that Zelensky's visit would become a lesson in humiliation.
Prior to the eruption of Trump at the end of the press conversation in the Oval Office, introduced by a provocation by vice president JD Vance, it was already clear that Trump does not want to hear a criticism of Putin. While Zensky spoke about Putin as « murderer » and « terrorist, » and Trump showed photos of emaciated Ukrainian prisoners of war, Trump responded only with a murmur « It's Tough Stuff« . Trump always emphasized the victims on both sides and said that an agreement will be difficult because Zensky feels so much hatred towards Putin.
The self -proclaimed mediator Trump expresses Russian views: refusing to acknowledge that Russia began war, refuse to acknowledge that security guarantees are necessary, suggest that peace is only possible with a new president in Kyiv.
Almost all EU countries leaders expressed their support for Zensky and Ukraine. Only Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is a dissonant in the European choir. On X he praised Trump: « Strong men make peace, weak men wage war. » In one leaked letter On Saturday to the chairman of the European Council, Orbán argues that, just like the US, the EU will immediately negotiate with Russia about a ceasefire and peace in Ukraine. An attempt to European summit on March 6dedicated to European Defense and Ukraine, to be concluded with a written statement will lead to European division, Orbán warns.
